Course Overview

Scripps Cancer Center’s 31st Annual Conference: Clinical Hematology and Oncology 2011 is designed for hematologists, oncologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, internists, and others desiring an update in these specialty areas. The primary objective of this course is to bring together clinicians and leading experts in diverse areas of hematology and oncology, affording them an intimate environment in which to discuss new clinical developments and significant advances.

The program focuses on selected hematologic subjects the first day, hematologic malignancies the second day, new developments in oncology with a focus on issues of current interest the third day and breast cancer the final day. Afternoon workshop sessions will be offered focusing on topics in hematology and coagulation. All presenters will discuss their approaches to challenging but common clinical situations and there will be ample time for participant interaction.
